3DMARK 2K1 low clock challenge II

[k|ngp|n]

Time for another 2K1 low clock challenge, this time I'm puttin up two new Tek9 slim units for the best scores .
Listen CAREFULLY...one piece is for best single GPU score, the other is for best multi GPU score. The cpu clock limit is 4.2 jigahertz, that is 4200mhz and not a mhz over!! Any cpu is fine, any mobo is fine, any gpu is fine AS LONG as it follows the ABOVE guidelines of single GPU or multi GPU. GPU=1 CORE. Single gpu nature cap is 1200fps, and multi gpu 1400fps nature. Nature limits may change, but for now this is what we will use. Good luck. We'll go for a month or so and then see who is at the top

So any cooling on GPU?

Great prize for such a skillful contest Also, this may be stupid, but why does 1 unit have grooves in it and 1 unit doesn't? Just curious.

One unit is groovier Facemill marks...

You won't need big cooling on high end gpu's, not sure about much older ones. You can be on ANY cooling you want.. air, phase DI, LN2..whatever. Being under the clock limit is all that matters and you need to have a screenshot + valid orb url

[Gautam]

And the nature caps.

How does Phenom II in 01'? Got a chance?

[ZoLKoRn]

Ahhh... nice one again

How does Phenom II in 01'? Got a chance?

Phenom II with 01 it same as i7, not make to much score for 2k1

[HawaiianSupermn]

Haha, u said jigahertz. I'll swing my noob bat at it. thx bro

I deeg. Hopefully when I get my REX back I can try. Don't have the money for LN2 at the moment so low clock testing on air sounds fun. Plus it wouldn't hurt to have a GPU unit that has brackets for newer gens (MM) and have a full KP rig

So I want to use the KingPin stepup program to step up my 4.0s

He is showing both the front and the back of the units. The front has groves to allow for that first bracket for older gen cards that have really small distances between mounting. The groves allows the screws to clear the pot without causing an issue.

Hey Vince,

Very cool, I'll play.

It may sound silly, but I want to be sure, GTX295 and 9800GX2 are single GPU or multi GPU cards for this game ?
I ask as they have two cores, but on the other hand it's one card. I know what hwbot calls it, but this is your game/rules.

[metro.cl]

So highest score wins? I only got a 9800GTX+ for now, but this sounds really nice

[Vivi]

Whoa! this sounds amazing, i will give this my best shot for sure!

[elmor]

Sweet, I will try to join this Was too long ago I last benchmarked the old 01.

Right before Vince put this thread up, he said that if anyone asked this question, they'd get disqualified immediately.

Phenom II with 01 it same as i7, not make to much score for 2k1

But if 4 GHz PII = 4 GHz E8600, then it's good for this contest.

i7 is almost equal to Core 2 in 01 clock for clock.

[hipro5]

Heh, heh, heh........I want one pot for my 295.......I'm in......

BUT why Nature limit at 1200 for single and 1400 for dual?.....I may want to put my VGA under LN2.....

........and WHEN this contest ends?.....


EDIT: Can I join with dual AND single cards so IF I win, I get both of the LN2 pots?.......

Was that at the same time he said Mods and anyone with their names in Green have to use Vista ?

Hmm... never tried on same clock for i7 and C2D, so i'll try it

[jagass]

Is this a set?...

[bazx]

at last support and recognition for the single GPU bencher

thanks vince

[hipro5]

Let me start with SINGLE VGA....

BUT you HAVE to say it from the VERY START, IF we can have a cap at 1200fps in Nature or not....Don't change it later on....

[Vivi]

nice score hipro

[massman]

George just put a big smile on my face: at 7.50AM he finds out about this thread, one and a half hour later he posts his score with a nature 0.4FPS below the cap

[Oliver]

exactly Pieter , i was like jeez , thats what i call keep pushing it ...

good idea Vince
